Default speedometer only works in reverse....

Just finished up my clutch install and i went through 2 VSS brackets...but anyways

My speedometer and odomotor don't work, i know the odomotor works with the speedometer. The weird part is, if i go in reverse, the speedometer and odomotor both work....the VSS plug is getting the correct voltage, but i didn't think the odometer moved when going in reverse? Do all hondas do that?

Any ideas why my speedometer doesn't work when i go forward and i get a VSS code?

i ended up replacing it with another VSS that i know is good and same problem....why does it only work in reverse? if the VSS was bad, wouldn't it not read in reverse?

did you cross wires? Is the VSS the correct part?

didn't even touch the wiring and yah, the VSS is from an h23 which is interchangable with my h22. If the VSS was malfunctioning, would it still read my mph and move my odometer when i'm moving backwards?

I've been having this problem as well replaced all the same things no change. I then pulled out the vss shaft from the transmission and took a pick and checked the gear it goes to in the trans and it spun freely. I had another transmission and checked the same thing only I couldn't move it. I think changed transmissions and problem solved, speedometer, cruise control and vtec all work now. Hope's this helps.
